Alex Blackwell Alex Blackwell Australian Cricketer, Inspiring Leader and Keynote Speaker Alex Blackwell is a change agent and disruptor of Australian sport. A professional cricketer who has played more matches for Australia than any other female cricketer in history, she captained the Australian Women’s Team to World Twenty20 glory in 2010 and reclaimed the Ashes against England in 2011. Drawing on her experience, Alex inspires audiences to reach and sustain success through innovation, adaptability, taking calculated risks and leadership. She talks her decision to pursue cricket over and above a career in medicine, choosing to become a leader, teaching others and learning to do things differently. Alex has captained of one of the most successful sporting teams in Australia, the Lend Lease NSW Breakers. In January 2015 the Breakers won their 10th consecutive Women’s National Cricket League title. She is one of only two players to feature in all 10 consecutive wins and she was captain in the last five. In January 2016 Alex captained the Sydney Thunder to victory in the groundbreaking inaugural Women’s Big Bash League and she will lead the Thunder again in WBBL02. Alex has successfully combined elite sport with academic pursuits. She studied medicine at the University of New South Wales from 2002 to 2005 before making a difficult decision to leave the course to pursue her cricketing dreams. Alex changed her career direction to become a genetic counsellor, working for three years in prenatal screening before becoming a full time professional cricketer in October of 2014. Well into her international cricket career, Alex remains at the top of her game. She has demonstrated remarkable adaptability and innovation as a cricketer and leader, in order to thrive in the rapidly evolving world of women’s sport. Alex came out as a gay athlete in 2012 and is a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion within sport with a particular focus on gender equality and the inclusion of LGBTI people. In 2015 she proudly led the Mardi Gras parade alongside other out athletes Daniel Kowalski, Jai Wallace and Matthew Mitchem.

GUIDE TO DIVERSITY 32 3.5 SEXUAL ORIENTATION: LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER AND INTERSEX LESBIAN GAY BISEXUAL TRANSGENDER INTERSEX (LGBTI) – DEFINITION When engaging individuals with diverse sexual orientation and identity, it is correct to use the collective term LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex). Not all people who are not heterosexual or cisgender will identify under/within the LGBTI acronym. • Lesbian: A female whose primary emotional and sexual attraction is towards other females. • Gay: A person whose primary emotional and sexual attraction is towards people of the same sex. The term is most commonly applied to males, although some females use this term. • Bisexual: A person who is emotionally, sexually attracted persons of the same and opposite sex. • Transgender: Transgender (sometimes shortened to “trans”) is an umbrella term used to describe a wide range of gender identities that differ from the perceived norms aligned to biological sex. Transgender is a term that may be used to describe someone whose gender identity does not match their birth gender, someone who identifies as both genders, neither gender or a third gender. • Intersex: Intersex people are born with physical, hormonal or genetic features that are neither wholly female nor wholly male, or a combination of female and male. • Cis or Cisgender: A term used to describe when a person’s gender identity matches social expectations for their sex assigned at birth; the opposite of transgender. It is unclear how this term relates to people with intersex variations, if at all.

For a group of players who nearly boycotted the event over a contractual dispute with their board, Darren Sammy and his troops have waltzed into the Kolkata final displaying all the Caribbean flair that has earned them global admiration. If Twenty20 cricket is essentially about power-hitting, no team does it better and more unabashedly than the West Indies. England have first-hand knowledge of that destructive potency, having been blown away by Chris Gayle’s 47-ball century in a Super 10 shellacking in Mumbai a fortnight ago. Revenge may be regarded as a dish best served cold but Eoin Morgan’s men would probably like nothing more than to exact it in the heat of a World Cup final.

Manuka will host the final two matches of the series – T20 contests on Sunday 19 November and Tuesday 21 November. “As the local cricket charity in the ACT, the Lord’s Taverners is throwing its weight behind the efforts of Cricket ACT and Cricket Australia to attract big crowds to both matches,” said the President of the Lord’s Taverners ACT, Ric Smith. “Fans will see plenty of exciting cricket and will be supporting young and disadvantaged local cricketers and other athletes – through the Lord’s Taverners – at the same time. “A small donation from every ticket sold to the matches will go to the Lord’s Taverners Foundation. We thank Cricket ACT for this generous initiative and urge cricket-lovers to get behind it.” The matches in Canberra are an excellent opportunity for local fans to watch some of the best cricketers in the world. “The current Australian team, which includes the likes of captain Rachael Haynes, Ellyse Perry, Alyssa Healy and Alex Blackwell, among others, have captured the attention of cricket-starved fans in the early part of Australia’s international summer of cricket,” Mr Smith said. “The Lord’s Taverners has been a long-standing friend and supporter of women’s cricket and we would like to see as many Canberrans as possible at Manuka for the Women’s Ashes.” Further information: Hamish Arthur, Lord’s Taverners ACT Committee – +61 406 510 083 The Lord’s Taverners ACT is a charity which is dedicated to helping young people play cricket and other sports when they might otherwise not have the opportunity to do so.
